So sorry that we couldn't make it out to SD for your big day of beautiful nuptials. We were there in spirit and send you all the love and well wishes! Thank you for the lovely card and sympathy. Let's meet up and have a special celebration when you've recovered from this tour of celebration.

Geez! I gotta get on the stick! Here's DAY 4. Wrapping up Oahu at the Outrigger Canoe Club (thanks to my cousin Pam Andelin-Artist Extraordinaire!)and then onto the ship!
Veteran's memorial near our hotel.
Just a cool building next to the Outrigger on the Reef Hotel (where we stayed.)

Ok..I'm only on DAY 5??? I've been slacking! Here's HILO:
It was either wait for the next shuttle...or........
A great way to get around the island!
First stop Volcanoes National Park
Do you see Pele in the fireplace?
Kilauea
Another cool fireplace in the Volcano House
Off to the Lava Tube
Lot's of cool plants around the falls!
We thought of Bamboo Ben here...
Ok...I was catching my breath from the hike up and saw this veiw
When in Rome, etc...It really tasted better! (maybe cause we're here!)
Back to the boat! Good bye Hilo!

Seems I've seen that van with the window stickers before, just can't place it.

The Hinano van was in the parking structure at the Outrigger on the Reef Hotel in Waikiki. I looked inside but the driver took the keys with him! Thanks for the compliments! We hope people can enjoy our experiences through our pix. (As blurry and drunken as they are occassionally!)

Alrighty then... Day 6 found us in Maui!!!
The morning view from our balcony...not so picturesque, but we're in Maui!
On every corner!!!
I wish our taco bell/pizza huts looked like this!!!
Time to start Mai-Tai'ing!!!
For some reason this thatching looked cool! You gotta watch out for the birds in the trees above! They like to add "ingredients" to your cocktails!
This is a $3 mai-tai from the Lahaina Fish Company
We had to drop in on Kimo's
A modern day shipwreck!
We found a beach right off the highway to splash around for a few
Back to the boat to get ready for MAMA'S FISH HOUSE!!!!!
We sat right inside on the corner!
The "Pearl"
This little guy bade us aloha from Mama's and the end of a great evening!

Wow...I agree...you guys sure know how to pack a lot into a short period of time. As always...wonderful pictures...you are so good about posting them so the rest of us can be right there along with you sipping a Mai Tai!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Karen & Chris for the best TIKI UNION in the world.
